puppy barking

I have two 10wk old lab puppies and one of them loves to bark. Seems like he loves to hear himself! However, this can be very disturbing, especially going potty in the early morning or middle of the night. I've tried redirection, what more can I do?

Hi! Hope this helps, to help reduce excessive barking in your puppy, start training them to understand the "quiet" command and reward them when they stop barking on command. Make sure they are getting enough exercise and playtime during the day and provide distractions like toys and puzzles to keep them occupied. Addressing underlying issues such as separation anxiety or boredom can also help reduce excessive barking. Remember, consistency and patience are key in training your puppy to bark less.
